Oh yes, the fairytale beliefs start at a young age and are not dispelled until late 30's at best for most. And it's strange how taboo the topic seems as well, when all we try to do is establish what system will stay afloat in the long run. I would also point to certain powers at work, such as inflation making it harder for many men to be a proper provider and safekeeper, thus making it extra hard for the women to be the adorer. 

 Women are muses, men are the Gods. 

 At least that's the role they should play, indeed. We are too focused on **who** we are, and not enough on **what** we are, when it comes to dealing with the opposite sex.
